He informed them that as part of the welfare scheme, the police authorities will inaugurate 300 housing units in Lagos, 700 in Abuja for inspectors and rank and file, and 35 units for officers from Assistant commissioners of police (ACPs) and above next month.

According to the police boss, in order to enhance the productivity and welfare of officers and men of the force, the police authorities had established 17 police children schools and two police secondary schools across the country in the last one year.

The IG reiterated his commitment to ensuring the safety and welfare of officers and men of the force.
